Dear Jane
Got it now!
The prose "The Benefactors" was reprinted in the
Kipling Journal No 130, June 1959. Having just read
the story, which is being rude about the striking coal
miners and the presence of one of the Union Leaders in
hell, the link to Cutcliffe Hyne is that the devil
appears and is described as follows:
'It had pleased His Majesty's ever kindly heart to
clothe himself that morning in coolest white ducks
with white-covered yachting cap and creamy-white
pipe-clayed shoes, so that he looked not unlike
Captain Kettle and spoke with that officer's
directness when his silk handkerchief picked up a
smear or grime from any bright-work.'
Captain Kettle was the hero of a series of stories by
Cutcliffe Hyne, several of which were published in
"Pearson's Magazine", Jan-June 1898. I am sure that
there are other publishings but this is the only
volume that I have.
